I had a small grant come in the mail for about $3500. I had never received it and became confused on where the check was at. The college finance dept. told me it was cashed back in April and the name of the bank. Some time passed and I ended up finding out my sister written down my social security number on the back of the check, forged my signature and told the banker I allowed her to cash the check, never needed to provide an ID either. The banker allowed it and my sister never said a word. she was arrested recently so now my mom and grandma are saying she will be in serious trouble if I dont drop the charges and that I shouldnt do that to my sister.

Would i be an asshole if i charged her and made her go to prison?

EDIT: I didnt think my post was going to get anymore attention than of 100 people lol. My sister and I do not get along. We havent for awhile. A few weeks before this my grandma had a few thousand dollars stolen from her pocket that she had just taken out of her bank account. it might’ve fell out or it was snagged from her sweats. (she doesn’t believe in bank cards & refuses to use them) so thats over $6k in one month. My sister stays in a room at my grandmas crib. SO, who could it be?

UPDATE: I didnt drop the charges. I found out she is getting out on the 29th due to this being her first offense. She sat for about two months. I didnt care to ask what she was charged for. I still wasn’t reimbursed. bummer.
